Intel microcode update

it can also be done within OS. Actually windows loads microcode but it is not the latest one and according to this MS article MS released
updates for only a few CPUs. So why didn't they release for the others

You can grab it directly from intel here for almost any OS other than windows (note that its date is 3/12/2018)

I'm not depending on hp because I know they won't release BIOS updates. Even if they release that won't be before a year!

 

Intel microcode update

The microcode updates in question are developed by Intel, not Microsoft. Microsoft is just the delivery boy. Don't shoot the messenger. It's Intel that hasn't provided the update that you're looking for.
